How can I add webflow using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf? - spring-webflow

I have written a Spring web app for baseball umpires using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. I like Spring Boot because it resolves dependency w/o a lot of configuration. Now I want to add Sprng WebFlow so umpires can order uniforms, a typical "shopping cart" application. There are many examples on the web but none using Spring Boot. They all are the traditional xml config with jsp and jstl. Has anyone used Spring Boot and WebFlow? There are WebFlow examples on the official Spring web site but very complicated. Thanks Rob

Spring Roo 2.0.0.M3 generates Spring Boot applications and integrates Spring Web Flow easier than ever.
The reference guide includes detailed descriptions of all the features, plus an extensive user guide for main use cases.

Prometheus configuration for Spring MVC 5

In my company's web application we are using Spring 5, but the application is written in Spring MVC and we are not gonna change it anytime soon. I need to connect the application to Prometheus but I could not find any webpage explaining using Prometheus in Spring MVC. All examples are for Spring Boot, unfortunately.
Can you tell me how to integrate our application to Prometheus?
Best regards,
There's an sample project of Spring (not boot) with prometheus
Enable prometheus using AOP
Add this annotation to any Spring Configuration class to enable * the use of the PrometheusTimeMethod annotation

Struts migration to Spring MVC - via Spring Boot

We are in the initial stages of converting a Struts 1.2.9 application to Spring MVC. While the impact has been analyzed and well documented and understood for this migration, we are uncertain if we should introduce Spring Boot in this equation.
I have been reading other threads and would like to state that we are not looking to integrate Struts with Spring - rather we are for sure migrating and moving out of Struts to Spring MVC.
Given this background, invite suggestions/thoughts around below:
Benefit of introducing Spring Boot in this process is more of a distant one of an eventual move to Cloud. As such the team has completed the initial configuration required for a Spring application (like web.xml, required jars, spring-servlet.xml) and not sure of immediate benefits for us.
In case we decide to use Spring Boot in this process, we perceive the impact to be:
i. Add spring-boot-starter-web to our gradle build.
ii. Create a starter Application class
iii. Revisit configurations in web.xml like startup servlets using 'SpringBootServletInitializer'
iv. Continue to use a war based traditional deployment using gradle war plugin. Does this package the spring based libraries into the war or should the libraries be on the server classpath?
I welcome thoughts/suggestions/rejections of this as an approach itself :).

Backbone and spring mvc

Hi I am just starting to learn backbone.js and now I am trying to integrate it with spring mvc, I looked everywhere for a simple example using the two to get an idea how it works but all I found was a few complex examples which I tried and failed to understand.Could you please provide me examples and help me do a simple hello world example using Backbonejs and spring mvc.
If you are familliar with the usage of Spring MVC, you can try using the "jackson" extension on your controllers. Jackson has the ability to turn your data requests into replies that are in the form of Data Transfer Objects (specifically JSON).
Since Backbone.js will handle all of your frontend needs, it is alright to use only the Model and Controller parts of the Spring MVC framework. Backbone.js's models will therefore consume your jackson integrated Spring MVC rest service, and can the be rendered in Backbone Views.
Yo can start with Spring Getting Started Guide "Consuming a RESTful Web Service with Backbone.js"
Or go for a full stack like RESThub with the "Spring Stack tutorial".

Run time addition of Spring MVC controller to existing spring MVC container

I have a plugin kind of architecture and each plugins are webapps.
1. I wanted to develop each plugin as a spring MVC component(controller)
2. Then add them at run time while the spring container is still up and running.
Also these components can have dependency on each other.
I am looking into Spring DM and OSGI, but i'm not convinced with OSGI.
Can someone please help.

Spring MVC portlet IBM WPS

In my job there was a debate about using Spring MVC portlet with IBM WPS, and architect is insisting it is have problem to use it without providing any reference, anyone have any input in this discussion based on actual experience, or any reference talking about issue of using Spring MVC portlet with IBM WPS, or have any reference can I use to show comparison of using Spring MVC portlet or other frameworks?
The standard Spring portlet MVC portlets work well. However they don't offer the fancy components offered by JSF frameworks.
Check out the spring documentation for getting started. You can check the outdated pet portal, not sure if it is working with 3.2 though.
